Exodus - 39 part 3 - Exod. 14:13-31 - THIS TESTIFIES OF JESUS

Lesson 39 Part 3 – ALL SCRIPTURE TESTIFIES OF ME – Jesus says this sometime between 24-30 A.D. and we read it in John 5:39. All they had then was the Hebrew Scriptures.  So those who first heard Jesus, who did not have the New Testament, it was clear Jesus was saying that the Torah and even Exodus 14, the chapter we are studying in lesson 39, testify of Jesus.  How?  Get ready.  Get your seat belts on.  The rescue at ים סוף Yam Suf – the sea of Reeds – connects us to Jesus and the final victory of His over death.

Also, we again encounter the ANGEL OF GOD or the ANGEL OF THE LORD.  In lesson 32 in Genesis we dealt with this in detail and showed how the Angel of the Lord is GOD, a manifestation of God to us in the flesh so that we will not die yet "see the Lord."  Here’s the link to lesson 32 in Genesis dealing with the Angel of the Lord.

In part 2 of lesson 39 we will study how this relates to the dogma of the Trinity.  We say there are three PERSONS in one God.  Once again we are reading it in English when it was actually written in Greek almost 2000 years ago.  The Greek word that we translate as PERSON today is not what the Greek word means then and in the New Testament.  It means FACE or mask.  Just like when Jesus said to Philip in John 14 that if we SEE Jesus, one might say see His face, then we have SEEN the Father.  We have seen the face of the Father.  And, we did not die.  God told Moses that we can’t see Him or we will die.  God actually said in the Hebrew that we can not see His FACES!  We can see a face of God, like Jesus.  We can see another face of God like the Angel of the Lord.  But, we can’t see His FACES – like all of them together.  The Greek word we translated as person, if we keep it in its original meaning as FACE, the dogma of the Trinity becomes a concept we can perhaps begin to grasp.  Jesus is God.  He is one with God.  He is one of the faces of God.  When we see Jesus we see God, a manifestation of God Himself. 

Who is the Egyptian god of the wind?  This god is named Shu.  Shu is the awesome god in Egyptian mythology, the wind, who held up the sky. 

Did Pharaoh think that it was Shu, the god of the wind, that blew all night to create a path through the chaos of the sea so he could then capture the Hebrews and Moses and return them to slavery.  Did Pharaoh think his gods were fighting for him?  It seems likely and it fits so well in this narrative.  To read more about this Egyptian god here are a few good links …
